The army of Sadiq Ali Khan, on ascertaining this, made a fresh onslaught, attacked the Imperialists, and struck up the music of victory. The Imperialists were defeated. Rahim Khan and Zainu-l-Abidin Khan, who had made a detour towards the rear of Sadiq Ali Khan's array, on hearing the music of victory, made a flank movement towards the right wing, and attacked it. But owing to the cannonade of the English artillery, they were unable to stand their ground, and were defeated. After defeat, the Imperialists retired towards Bardwan, and Sadiq Ali Khan, pursuing them, followed them up to Bardwan via Chakai, Khauti, and Birbhum. From this side, Jafar Ali Khan also marched expeditiously to Bardwan, and on the banks of the river below the town of Bardwan, a battle commenced with a cannonade. The Imperialists not being able to hold their own there, marched back to Azimabad.
